If you now change the default currency back to AUD, Gnucash (should) 
remembers that setting. Before, you just accepted the default value 
(which was derived from the locale), so when the locale changed, the 
default value changed, too. Now you would need to pick a non-default 
value of that option, and gnucash will remember your setting.
